I know 'cos I'm a fuzzy bird!

I know, that's why I mentioned it.

With most wildlife photography, you need the background out of focus to emphasize on the subject, otherwise your eyes could bypass the main subject. You have the whole of the photo in focus for landscapes normally.

Talk about fake news, more like fake nature shot.
How many 'new' shots have you seen from him?
I appreciate that this isn't a photographic site and no way do I like berating a fellow member of this fine site.
However, with his limited photographic skills, I appreciate what he is trying to achieve.

Re: What have you done with your camera today
Not strictly today but on the weekend. For my youngest son's 30th birthday the entire family went camping to Wollondilly River Station for a couple of days. It was at the end of a long dirt road but well worth the effort, the river was lovely to soak in.The 1899 single lane tunnel still in use today.
Our camp stretched from the foreground tents to the two cars in the background. My grandson snuck in the picture. We had to kick a lot of roo poo out of the way before we put up the tents.
Originally we were going to a state forest near Batemans Bay BUT the Braidwood Fire meant that the Canberra contingent couldn't get down the Kings Highway to the coast. Thank gawd we changed it because the Currowan fire would have cut me off from returning directly via the Princes Highway.
